I'm so psyched! I got tickets (in the 77.50 section), in front of Geddy, like 3 rows back, but in the second section back, so probably more like 25-30 rows back. Still, my first Rush show. I'm totally pumped.

Well, Tickets went on sale officially this morning at 10:00 am here in Los Angeles. The anticipation of another Tour is a great time. I got two tickets in orch 2 row E or better, and if a single in the pit, row 1,2 or 3 becomes available, I'll get that instead. See you there!

Irvine is a great place to see I don't really have an explanation. I mean The Forum back in the late 70's and early 80's were the only place in Los Angeles to see them and the place sucked. I never had front row there so that would have helped. But, Irvine is kind of out in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden it appears from the freeway, an open air black temple of ghost echoes from your old concert memories. I just recieved by e-mail a photo of Jack Black at the Irvine R30 show taken by Neil Pearts' friend. He was summoned by Neil to take the photo because Andrew was not there that night. I was 3rd row about 5 ft. to the left of that. According to the story, Geddy and Alex did not know about Jack running onstage during 2112 and Neil wanted a picture taken of it. You can see Neil cracking up as Jack Black does the butt crack starman pose on the dryers. Do you remember the three girls taking out the clothes in mini skirts? Geddy had to walk over and block one of the girls who were all wearing G- strings.

yeah, I remember all that like it happened yesterday. If you have that photo, you should post it in here. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I don't think I ever saw that picture anywhere else. It just may be an exclusive unless someone has a boot or cell photo.... The guy who took it is a professional photographer and a really cool person. I saw him the other day and made his lunch, he said, "Two more weeks!" ( for the album) and he said I hope they get me a ticket" I said yeah, "All Areas" He's the one who told me over two months ago that there would be three instrumentals... much to the disbelief of some posters here.
